Speaking of hatred that knows no bounds or party affiliation, the Westboro Baptist Church, famous for picketing the funerals of slain members of the American military, has announced plans to disrupt the funeral of the youngest of yesterdays shooting victims, 9-year-old Christina Greene.
The child was among the six fatalities that resulted from a shooting spree in Tucson by Jared Lee Loughner that left Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords hospitalized with a brain injury. Christina, who was the granddaughter of former Philadelphia Phillies manager Dallas Green, had just been elected to the student council at school. She wanted to attend the event to see real government in action.
Westboros founder, Fred Phelps has run in several Kansas Democratic Party primaries, but has never won. In his most successful bid, as a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 1992, he received 31 percent of the vote.
Phelps was an enormous supporter of Al Gore 1988 Democratic Party primary election and in 2003 wrote a letter to Saddam Hussein, praising his regime for being
Sick bass turds. I wish that I lived in Tucson. I’d get with some other vets and maybe have a reception committee for these lowlifes.
I would be all for allowing Jared Loughner to be released, armed with a Glock, and sent to Westboro during it’s services.
I think someone should invite the Patriot Guard Riders to show up.
Like all bullies, picking on the smallest. Why the little girl rather than the older shooting victims?
It’s not surprising that this vile, anti-American is working overtime to make people want to limit free speech.
The vid of this Phelps guy is very disturbing.
He is unbalanced at best and insane at worst.
This is getting ridiculous.
I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. These people need to be taken to the wood shed for a good old-fashioned @ss whoopin’. If they had the crap kicked out of them every time they showed up at a funeral, they’d stop showin’ up.
Our heavenly father is using Phelps to make the point that the devil is real and among us.
More publicity, of course.
they choose to dishonor a child’s funeral, but not that of the murdered judge
shows a lot about even their sick twisted minds
as a parent who has buried a chidl I cannot even CONTEMPLATE how this circus adds to the grief and pain
there is a special section in hell for Phred Phelps and his legion
This is disgusting beyond words!
You got that right!
I'm not sure if others have that mentioned it on other threads. Just a FYI
I sure hope the Patriot Riders or other civic groups shield the parents from the WBC crew. The poor parents certainly don't need the WBC BS at this point. What did they ever do to deserve that?
These lowlifes are sick, sick, sick.
Leave the grieving family alone!
Wow
No they aren’t!
